Does Gender Really Matter?
It is obvious that because men are built bigger than women that they naturally became the more dominant members of society. However, the present is nothing like the past. Physical ability is no longer the main characteristic of a person that determines a person's social status. Rather, a person's success is what I think society uses as its main determinant of their social status, in which I would say men and women alike have about the same odds at becoming successful with all that the world has to offer today. Most employers don't take gender into account when hiring someone for a job; instead, a person's qualifications are what really matter. In college, anyone can choose whatever major they please, sex doesn't matter. Whether it seems like it or not, men and women are offered the same opportunities. Gender doesn't affect a person's success, its just a matter of who tries the hardest.

I agree with you Jeremy . Gender doesn't have much effect as it did in the past. And it should stay like that qualifications should start to matter more and have more of an impact. I guess the gender issue is mostly on how guys make more and how men make us feel weak . Women just want to feel more independent and not depend on a man i guess.
ReplyDeleteI agree but disagree, I totally agree that gender roles are not what they used to be, but there are many older generations out there that still believe the man is domanate. Sometimes gender plays a big role in major companies because a man and woman can have the same qualifications but some will choose the man because to people he still symbolizes more authority and strength over the woman. In some places they say male and female work the same jobs but they give the females much easier duties than the male and pay and in general treat the female differently
